European Junkyards? Do they exist? 200

I'm currently in the Netherlands for a study abroad semester through my university, and I want to take advantage of this chance to see if there are any useful or rare parts I could find on old European-spec 240s and somehow get back home. I was in Germany last fall and utterly missed the chance then.

I asked a Dutch guy I know if he knew the location of any junkyards nearby, and he said, "We're a civilized country--they don't let normal people wander around junkyards like a bunch of rednecks." Now, he's a bit opinionated and tends to give overly dramatic answers along this same theme, but I get the feeling he's more or less correct (though I plan on asking another Dutch person who will give a bit more factual answer).

For those of you in Europe or for those of you who are familiar with how the parts business works here, how might I go about acquiring rare 240 accessories that were only available for European cars? Even if there's nothing greater than a center armrest available, I'd still like to find out how I can "browse" the parts from junked Euro 240s.
